haha. MY word of the day is:

"Hey Guys follow me, I found a good base location: the ELEVATOR ROOM"

It is so nice to have people here with good new ideas!

And my word of the day is: "Dinner time at the elevator room" .

On a slightly more serious note I observed a nice little game yesterday. The hummies were relocating to the elevator room but there was a dragoon there hopping around on them. The human team didn't last quite long, not odd considered they already deleted the reactor .
